Video: Make Your Own Room Air Conditioner

Although it feels like the polar vortex of 2014 will never release its grip on North America, thoughts of summer are heavy in everyone’s mind. It’s a perfect time to start learning how to make your own air conditioner for those sweltering, summer days ahead.

Using just a few simple and inexpensive items from either Home Depot or your local hardware store, you can easily assemble this DIY A/C unit. You do not even need to worry about bags of ice. The cooled air comes from a 1 gallon frozen milk jug – easily re-frozen once it has thawed out. Great way to upcycle those plastic jugs! In fact, you will see in the video below how the fan can be run off solar power as well, reducing your overall costs even more!
